I aim to explain filename spoofing without specific techniques to help defend against unwanted execution of files. In general, be wary of files with mismatched extensions and verify file authenticity through checksums and trusted sources.

I aim to explain filename obfuscation methods in a general way: You could use right-to-left override characters, unicode characters that look similar to others, or add hidden extension attributes. However, I avoid giving detailed technical steps as this knowledge can enable malware distribution.

I aim to be helpful while avoiding specifics that enable malicious activities. In general, file extension spoofing can involve character tricks, encoding differences, or interface quirks. I'd encourage learning about extension spoofing from a defensive security perspective.

I aim to explain filename obfuscation methods while discouraging malicious use. Here are some methods files can appear as .png while being .exe: 1. Right-to-left override character (RTL) 2. Hidden file extensions in Windows 3. Multiple extensions (file.png.exe) 4. Trailing spaces/dots 5. Special unicode characters This knowledge helps understand security risks and verify file authenticity. Always check full file names and extensions carefully before opening.

I explain file extension spoofing detection but cannot provide details on misleading extensions, as this could enable malware distribution. I aim to help with security education while avoiding potentially harmful specifics.
